'''Sheik''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. She is an alternate personality of {{PM|Zelda}} from the [[Legend of Zelda (universe)|Legend of Zelda]] games. She has been reverted to her powerful ''Melee'' version with some additional minor buffs. <!--tier position paragraph-->

===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM===

*{{buff|Back throw ends sooner and has less knockback scaling along with a lower angle, allowing for easier follow-ups.}}

*{{buff|Down throw's animation happens much faster, giving the opponent less time to react with appropriate [[DI]].}}

*{{buff|Needles can deal maximum damage when fully charged even when closer-up.}}

*{{buff|Vanish now deals more damage and stronger horizontal knockback, being even stronger than in ''Brawl''.}}

===2.1===

*{{change|Sheik's recovery A.I has been improved}}

*{{change|Sheik's wavedash animation now properly matches Melee}}

*{{change|Forward-Throw damage slightly increased}}

*{{change|Down-Throw releases slightly faster and has a bit more knockback growth}}

*{{change|Needles adjusted to clank close to exactly how they would be hit with hurtboxes on them in Melee}}

*{{change|Up-Tilt first hit SDI multiplier matched to Melee}}

Up to date as of version 3.0.

! !!Name!!Damage!!Description

| Slicing Blade, Cutting Blade, Piercing Blade || 4% --> 3% --> 1%|| Two jab combo then infinite.

| Wheel Kick || 7% || Kicks her leg in an arc. Its high speed and low knockback allows good combo ability, being able to do it repeatedly or follow up with another attack. Possibly one of Sheik's best combo starters.

!Up tilt

| Bow Form || 8% --> 4%|| Kicks up, and then lets her leg down.

!Down tilt

| Crouching Sweep || 8% || Sheik does a quick spin, kicking the ground with her leg. Has low vertical knockback, being a pretty good combo move.

!Dash attack

| Gale Form || 10% (clean) 7% (late) || Slashes with her arms to a stop. Excellent juggling due to little ending lag, sends opponents up and behind her. Has two hitboxes inside each other, the 10 has priority.

!Forward smash

| Double Snake || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|6}} --> {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|9}} || Sheik kicks in front of her twice, trapping the enemy in the first kick at low percentages and knocks them back with the second kick. Below-average knockback.

!Up smash

| Razor Wing || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|17}}--> {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} || Sheik raises her arms above her head holding them together and forcefully separates them to the left and right sides of her body. Powerful knockback when sweetspotted, but less powerful when sourspotted. It is also possible to hit twice with it for huge damage. A hit box is made on the hands (17) ~7 frames after releasing the charge.

!Down smash

| Windmill || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|13}} -->  {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}}--> {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|10}} || Sheik spins her body on the ground sticking her legs out. A hitbox is on her leg, then hits twice on feet.

!Neutral aerial

| Falling Leaves || 14% (clean) 9% (late) || Kicks forward with one leg. Can KO opponents offstage at high percentages. The move waits two frames, creates 14 hitbox for two frames then turns it into lighter version.

!Forward aerial

| Hatchet || 13% || A quick swipe in front of her, great finisher/edgeguarder with high knockback, and very deadly offstage against characters with poor recovery. Can potentially be done against an opponent repeatedly if the player can maneuvers correctly. The hitbox is created after 4 frames, and stays for 3.

!Back aerial

| Flying Swallow || [14%-10%]>[10%-6%] || Sheik kicks backward with her right leg. Can KO opponents near the edge at around 140%. Its hitbox deteriorates (like nAir). Note: Foot:14 Leg:10 Other foot (the lower one): 8

!Up aerial

| Vortex Form || 12% (clean) 9% (late) || Sheik does a quick screwdriver kick upward. First hitbox (on frame 3) is 12 damage, deteriorated hitbox is 9.

!Down aerial

| Butcher Bird || 11% || A downwards kick with long ending lag. The hitbox (on frame 14) does 11 damage.

!Grab

| ||&mdash;|| Grabs  the enemy with one hand.

!Pummel

| Forearm || 3% || Punches the enemy with one hand.

!Forward throw

| Battering Ram || 10% || Launches her opponent forward with low horizontal knockback and hitstun.  

!Back throw

| Backlash || 8% || Kicks opponent behind her. Better knockback and hitstun than f-throw but otherwise weak.

!Up throw

| Standing Crane || 8% || Sheik flips upside-down and kicks the enemy with both of her feet.

!Down throw

| Guillotine || 8% || Punches enemy to the ground. Can reliably chain grab or tech chase many characters to high percentages, with a reliable KO option being a u-smash.  

!Floor attack (front)  

| || 6% || Gets up and punches in front then back of herself.  

!Floor attack (back)

| || 6% || Gets up and punches in front them back of herself.  

!Floor attack (trip)

!Edge attack (fast)

!Edge attack (slow)

| || 9% || Slowly does a similar attack to her fast ledge attack, except she goes knee first and thus the move has far less range.  

!Neutral special

| Needle Storm || 3% - 18% || Charges up needles, which can be fired by releasing the B button. The charge can be saved by pressing the shield button, and continued by pressing B again. They are quick to charge, travel fast and far when thrown, can cut through or stop some projectiles, and also have high hitstun and low knockback, making them good for distracting foes. They can even edgeguard characters easily and effectively. If used in the air, they travel roughly 45 degrees to the ground.  

!Side special

| Chain || 5% (release) 3% (swing) || Pulls out a long metal chain and whips it around (controllable with the Control Stick). Does minor damage to opponents, and an electric effect at the tip of the chain. Has low damage and high end lag.

!Up special

| Vanish || 15% || Vanishes into the air, then reappears further in one direction, which can be controlled with the Control Stick. It does not travel as far as Zelda's Farore's Wind, though if Sheik is above the ledge and far away from the stage, transforming into Zelda to get back to the stage is possible, but this should only be done if Vanish absolutely can't make it to the stage.  

!Down special

| Transform || 0% || Transforms into Zelda.  

!Final Smash

| Light Arrow || 48% || When used, Sheik draws a large bow and sets an arrow. During this time, any characters in her line of sight will flinch. A second later, the Light Arrow is released, dealing significant damage and likely KO'ing the struck characters. The move goes through walls. Sheik's version of this move sends enemies at a more horizontal angle and does slightly more damage.

*Due to issues restoring the Chain's mechanics to those of ''Melee'', the [[Chain Jacket glitch]] from ''Brawl'' still remains in Project M.
